BURNING BUILDINGS I awoke to the sound of shouting outside my door Turned the tv on, and stood there rooted to the floor By the beauty of the airplane's graceful flying And the burning buildings along the river's shore I stayed home and cried, just watching throughout the day Trying to find an answer, or the words with which to pray Could almost hear the sound of the people dying In the burning buildings seen from across the bay Heard his voice break, the children sitting by his knee What will become of them all, down in the land of the free All around the world, people are crying As the burning buildings collapse into debris Please someone explain it to me, if you think you can What drives someone to do these things to their fellow man In that moment there was no way of denying That the burning buildings made us all American Maddy |

I think it made us all human..and perhaps showed us we are not so different one frm the other when it comes to the things that others inflict on us... hard to think we still fight over the petty things and forget those lessons so cruel... enjoyed your write... |

 (big hugggsssssss) And if that didn't make us all American, then God have mercy on all our children and may they be taught the values of love and kindness! (wipes tears) Why someone can be compelled to perform such treachery, we may never know, but the children are the key to our future and by teaching them the values of love and not hatred, we can avoid such tragedies to ever repeat themselves, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Maddy, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
